I LOVE NAAN - USES FOR THIS WONDERFUL BREAD

I love naan the Indian flat bread, it is the most versatile of breads.  My new favorite is the one from Costco.

 

This is the one from Costco and they are smaller than others and of course being Costco there are lots in the package.

Besides being so versatile the bread is also healthy - 130 calories, low sugar and 4 grams of protein. There are virtually thousands of recipes using this bread from pizza (fun to make individual pizzas) use to make fajitas, chicken recipes, sandwiches, it's good toasted and good to put things inside like bacon and eggs and on and on...I am going to talk about the two things that I love to do with naan - using leftover taco filling and as I did last week leftover beerock filling (or bierock). I will post a link below for a blog post I did on making beerocks.

So simple, heat the leftover filling in the microwave or the stove-top.

If you like cheese or need a little more protein (I used reduced calorie cheddar) grate some cheese.

I like to wrap the naan in between a clean kitchen towel before heating in the microwave - two of them about 15 seconds, give them a check and a few more seconds if necessary. They will stay warm for a bit in the towel.

With both leftover taco filling and leftover beerock filling I like to top with angel hair Cole slaw. It is not expensive in the bag already shredded very small - one of those things that is nice to not have to do and it makes the process so much faster.

I don't have a recipe when I make this so this time I measured to make the dressing for 3-4 sandwiches.

2T mayonnaise, regular or reduced calorie
2 pkgs of Stevia
1/2 T apple cider vinegar
2 t fat free half & half

Whisk it all together until it is smooth and creamy - may need to add a little more half and half.  I was out of poppy seeds but I would normally add some to this dressing. Toss the dressing with some of the slaw and you are ready to put your sandwiches together.

Fill the heated naan with the leftover filling of your choice, top with some cheese and then the Cole slaw - a toothpick holds it together very well.

One for me and two for hubby with some carrots and he was a happy camper.
